Let RICH PEOPLE fall off the 'FISCAL CLIFF'

[leftstreet]

And seize their goddamed assets as they're going over

Our labor CREATES their wealth while they sit on their asses and do nothing but rob us blind



Institute a WPA style Jobs Program NOW

Raise wages NOW

Start Medicare For All NOW


Problems solved

2. You'll get no argument out of me...

Why are the sacrifices made by the middle and working classes?

It's time for the wealthy to pony up. "Trickle down" was supposed to give more money back to the rich so they could "re-invest" in America, bolstering the economy while creating jobs. They didn't do it. They invested in jobs overseas and hid their new-found swag in secret, off-shore tax havens.

Same with the Bush tax cuts.

The rich didn't live up to their part ot the bargain. It's time for them to pay back what they took.

It's so simple you'd think the GOPers would understand...

6. Repatriation of Wealth is the next frontier

We can't just tax income and gains taxes anymore. We have to work on exacting a wealth tax so we can assess EXISTING wealth, insomuch the same way we assess property taxes. Right now, we essentially restrict ourselves to taxing their interest. It is time to start taxing their entire worth.

This is also done in conjunction with tightening the control of money and securities so it can't readily be transferred offshore or into currency or gold/silver without federal control. This is extremely important, and we must think about doing this immediately. At the very least, California, with its legislative supermajority, should come up with the first workable solution.

I suggest a wealth tax of 15% of entire wealth per year.
